Australia's export sector shows signs of recovery as the nation's Export Price Index registered a reduction of only -0.9% in the third quarter of 2025. This contraction is significantly less than the -4.5% decline experienced in the previous quarter, marking a notable improvement for the country's export industry.

The data, updated on October 30, 2025, and analyzed on a quarter-over-quarter basis, reveals a positive trend, suggesting potential stabilization within the Australian export market. During the second quarter of 2025, the sector grappled with a more pronounced downturn of 4.5%, but the latest figures imply that the decrease in export prices has tempered in recent months.

A softer contraction generally indicates a rebound or strengthening of demand for Australian goods in international markets, or possibly adjustments in exchange rates or global commodity prices. Such developments will be critical for Australia's economic health and export-driven growth, as analysts and stakeholders keep a close watch on future economic indicators to assess the sustainability of the observed improvement.
